1.	Keep Hearing Voices 04:21	lyrics	buy track
Keep Hearing Voices Keep hearing voices from behind Relax, release, submerge, unwind. Keep standing but feel I’m falling down. Do you know the way from here? I found my way to this place, the rest is unclear. Keep standing but feel I’m falling down. I think I might have found another way I might have found the secret here but can’t say. Keep standing but feel I’m falling down. .
2.	Don't Dream The Dream 04:52	lyrics	buy track
You Don’t Dream The Dream Are you going to miss me now that you’re gone Could it be that we’ve both seen the dark side of our fun Dancing hand in hand through neon painted rooms Always knowing morning will be coming soon. You don’t dream the dream or fight the fight of life Happy just to live the next day Why don’t you stay away when you’re lost in yourself It’s hard to be your friend Always thought that you could be the one Sitting with my arms around you waiting for the sun I tried to hide my eyes, I turned away to see That I’m still standing here, the visions clear to me. .
3.	Once Again 02:36	lyrics	buy track
Once Again Walked along this road (be there when I can) Many times before (try to understand) I didn’t mean to say goodbye so soon Heard your call so clear (stay with you awhile) In the morning light (follow once again) Seems this time we’ve come so far Whichever way I choose, leads me back to you Once again And though the road is long, always knew I’d see you Once again Walked along this road Many times before Just thought my love that you should know, I didn’t mean to say goodbye so soon. .

5.	You Will Be 03:52	lyrics	buy track
You Will Be I was dreaming of you, once again. Sometimes I feel you’re in a world of your own, But then you hit me with reality so clear, That you make me proud to know you. I was dreaming of you, once again. I’d like to know what goes on in your mind. If I could join you there, I do believe that we both could feel so fine. I was dreaming of you, once again. I know the things you feel seem so real, But if you step out of the past and make a good thing last, You will see, you will be. I was dreaming of you, once again. .

7.	Tears Flow (Alt. end) 06:55	lyrics	buy track
Tears Flow Sing for the sorrow of a hollow heart Empty echoes of a distant tune Play with chance, bringing warmth to the sound, Look around can you see me now? How should we feel And should we have believed Our love lingers so Tears flow You could say it’s just the way we are And let this carry on and on Don’t fill your life with these empty dreams There is no other time than now How should we feel And should we have believed Our love lingers so Tears flow So close your eyes and drift away, For we have love for today. So close your eyes, Hold me now and drift away, Without a sound We have love We have love for today.

about

Apologies for the sound quality of these recordings. They were taken from old cassette tapes. 1993 -1996 ish.

This was the deal: Turn up (usually on a Sunday morning), pay your money, wait for three hours for the engineer to set up, sound check, play the songs, wait two hours while they pretend to mix, walk out with a cassette tape of three tracks, take it home, listen back, moan to each other about how you played and how the engineer has made you sound. "Why do the drums sound like that? What's with all the reverb on everything? "Why can't I hear the keyboards? Why is the guitar so loud? Why is there delay on the vocals? Why does it sound like we played in a cave? I told him to make all the vocals equal. Why did the engineers smoke weed all day?"

'E=mc2' probably suffers the most. Too much reverb, too much guitar and virtually no keyboards. No one's fault, no one was in charge. We might have got a better sound by simply placing a microphone on the floor in the centre of the room.

The drums and guitars on 'Once Again' were pre-recorded at home on cassette tape using a budget microphone in an attempt to get a sound we preferred.
